BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a lower muscle training device, and more particularly to a lower muscle training device for suitably training or exercising lower muscle groups of users. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] For training or exercising lower muscle groups of users, various kinds of typical lower muscle training devices, such as treadmills, stepping exercisers, or the like have been developed for jogging or ladder climbing exercises. [0005] However, the typical treadmills are primarily provided for training the hearts and the lungs of the users, but may not be provided for training or exercising the lower muscle groups of the users. [0006] Similarly, the typical stepping exercisers are also primarily provided for training the hearts and the lungs of the users, but also may not be provided for training or exercising the lower muscle groups of the users. [0007] Actually, while operating or exercising the typical treadmills and the typical stepping exercisers, the legs of the users are normally elevated by the muscle groups of the thigh portions only, the foot portion may not be suitably moved or exercised or rotated relative to the tibia, such that the lower muscle groups of the users also may not be suitably trained or exercised. [0008] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional lower muscle training devices. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a lower muscle training device for suitably training or exercising lower muscle groups of users. [0010] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a lower muscle training device comprising a base, and a foot support including an intermediate portion pivotally coupled to the base with a pivot shaft, and including at least one foot pedal for supporting users thereon. The foot pedal and the foot support may be rotatable relative to the base about the pivot shaft by the users, to train and exercise lower muscle groups of the users. [0011] The base includes a front portion having a pad provided thereon, for engaging with a front portion of the foot support, and for cushioning the foot support. The base includes a protrusion extended from the front portion thereof, to support the pad thereon. [0012] The base includes a rear portion having a stop provided thereon, for engaging with a rear portion of the foot support, and for cushioning the foot support. The base includes a socket provided thereon, the stop includes an arm extended therefrom and engaged into the socket of the base. [0013] The arm of the stop includes a plurality of apertures formed therein, and a latch engaged with the socket of the base, and engaged with either of the apertures of the arm, to adjustably secure the stop to the base, and to adjust an inclination or tilting angle of the foot support relative to the base. [0014] A resistive device may further be provided and coupled between the foot support and the base, to apply a resistive force against the foot support and to the users. It is preferable that the resistive device may be selectively adjusted to different resistive force for applying different resistive forces against the foot support and the users. [0015] The base includes a pair of beams each having an extension extended outwardly and rearwardly therefrom, to increase a ground contacting area and a stability of the base. The base may further include a handle attached to the base, to support upper portions of users. [0016] Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0017] FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a lower muscle training device in accordance with the present invention; [0018] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the lower muscle training device; [0019] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the lower muscle training device, similar to FIG. 2, illustrating the operation of the lower muscle training device; [0020] FIG. 4 is a side plan view of the lower muscle training device; [0021] FIGS. 5, 6 are side plan views similar to FIG. 4, illustrating the operation of the lower muscle training device; and Continue reading about Lower muscle training device...
